A       D           Bm           E    
People say I'm the life of the party  
  A             D            F#m  OPEN  E  A 
Cause I tell a joke or two 
               A          D     Bm       E        
All though I might be laughing loud and hearty 
  A     D             F#m  OPEN  E  A  
Deep inside I'm blue 

Chorus: 
           A     D         Bm 
So take a good look at my face 
              A     D            Bm 
You know my smile looks out of place 
              A           D      Bm 
If you look closer it's easy to trace 
       E           A 
The tracks of my tears 

       D 
Oh, I need you (need you), need you 

A           D            Bm             E  
Since you left me if you see me with another guy 
A             D              F#m  OPEN  E  A 
lookin' like I'm havin' fun 
E                   D          Bm            E     
I know it might be cute, he's just a substitute because.. 
A             D           F#m  OPEN  E  A 
you're the permanent one

  A    D 
(Out-side)  I'm masqueradin' 
  A   D 
(In-side)  My heart's a-fadin' 
  A           D 
(I'm just a clown)  since you put me down 
F#m                                                  E 
My smile is my makeup I wear since my break up with you 

Baby take a real good
